Correspondence Page 3 of 10 June 30, 2016 To whom it may concern: We are writing to express our concern and disapproval abouta proposed $305,000 HUD and Community Block Grant being considered to fund a Yelm City Park splash pool. The purpose of an HUD and Community Block Grant is to variety of activities that serve low-A Yelm splash pool does not accomplish that objective. To allow grant monies to be used for such a limited purpose, for a splash pool that may get utilized 3 months out of the year, circumnavigates the grant's purpose. Two previous bonds for a Community Center failed passage by Yelm voters, yet the Mayor and then-City Council went around the voters and got grant funding for a scaled-down Community Center, which now costs Yelm tax payers hefty O&M expenses not covered by rental income. Further, the city received a skate park grant. Now, Mr. Harding wants to build a splash pool adjacent his Community Center via federal grant funding. With so many social issues in Yelm, the time has come where Mayor Harding's focus to create things as his legacy must be outweighed by investments in Yelm citizens.Since Yelm is considered a low income community, how does a splash pool make any sense when our citizens need help. Poverty, hunger, homelessness, and local military families could certainly be supported in many more beneficial ways by the $305,000 HUD funds. How can the Yelm Mayor single-handedly decide a splash pool is the highest and best use of that money? People come first! Therefore, we ask your consideration to deny approval of the $305,000 HUD and Community Block Grant for a Yelm splash pool and remand back to the City of Yelm for them to follow the grant's objective to: of activities that serve low-income Sincerely, Bill Hashim,Steve Klein P.
